Before long i heard my friend’s story that his chroniclymphadenitis had been cured through a magical plant called cat’s claw (uncaria tomentosa). So let’s find out what cat’s claw bark is:

Uncaria tomentosa (popularly known in English as Cat’s Claw, in Spanish as U?a de Gato or as indian name Vilcacora) is a woody vine found in the tropical jungles of South and Central America, which derives its name from its claw-shaped thorns. It is used as an alternative medicine in the treatment of a variety of ailments.

Uncaria tomentosa is a liana deriving its name from hook-like thorns that resemble the claws of a cat. U. tomentosa can grow up to 30m tall, climbing by means of these thorns. The leaves are elliptic with a smooth edge, and grow in opposite whorls of two. Cat’s claw is indigenous to the Amazon rainforest, with its habitat being restricted primarily to the tropical areas of South and Central America. There are two species of Cat’s Claw, Uncaria tomentosa and Uncaria guianensis, each having different properites and uses. The two are frequently confused but U. tomentosa is the more heavily researched for medicinal use and immune modulation, while U. guianensis may be more useful for osteoarthritis. U. tomentosa is further divided into two chemotypes with different properties and active compounds, a fact ignored by most manufacturers that can have significant implications on both its use as an alternative medicine and in clinical trials to prove or disprove its efficacy.

In 1970, both the National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Health tested Cat’s Claw for its use in cancer treatment. Cat’s Claw Phytochemicals : Alkaloids (14 alkaloids are known, and there are more to be identified ) Its alkaloids are divided into two groups indole and quinoline. Isopteropodine and isorhynchillin alkaloids seem to be responsible for its immunostimulating effects. Other constituents are : Phytosteroids, Beta sitosterol, Campesterol, Catechin, Glicosides, Flavones, Quercetin, and Rutin. The best way to use this plant is in a high-quality extract, although a decoction, the traditional way of preparing this herb, is also of great benefit.
